How technology makes adjusting to daylight saving time easier
Now that daylight saving time has brought a change in schedules, winter routines are giving way to longer, sunlight filled days and more outdoor activities. But did you know that even your smart devices can help you adjust to the new season, and make the most of your schedule?
Waking up with smart technology is a breeze
Everything from setting your blinds are on a schedule, to programming your smart speakers to wake you up to your favorite playlist can help with getting a head start to the day.
With longer daylight hours and an earlier sunrise, your devices can help you make the most of your time. Automate everything from your coffee maker to your window blinds, so that you wake up ready to take on the day.
Did you know: according to the National Sleep Foundation, waking up to natural light can help alert the brain, set you in motion and even help you sleep later on.

Even spring cleaning is less of a chore
With the rising popularity of smart home devices, things like smart vacuums and smart filters are both affordable and practical. Spring routines like changing the air filters are much easier with reminders. And while we’re on the topic of spring cleaning, don’t forget to clean your blinds. This helps prevent the buildup of grime and dust that are not only an eyesore, but detrimental to immune health.
Go green with sustainable smart home devices
Smart lights, automating your blinds to save on energy costs, and even smart kitchen appliances can all help with living more sustainably. Small habits can lead to big changes in using less energy day to day, which will help lower your electricity bill.

The key is in understanding what features are most important to you before investing in smart technology. Evaluating what features to prioritize will help you make the right purchases that fit within the ecosystem of your home. Also, always check compatibility with existing devices, to allow seamless integration.
